persona local dev loop | sed 's/\b(.)/\u\1/g'

Overview

Sandbox testing with test inquiry templates, ngrok tunnel for webhook testing, mock API responses for CI.

Prerequisites

  • Completed persona-install-auth setup
  • Valid Persona API key (sandbox or production)

Instructions

Step 1: Set Up Sandbox Environment

bash
set -euo pipefail
# Use sandbox API key for all development
echo 'PERSONA_API_KEY=persona_sandbox_xxxxxxxx' > .env
echo 'PERSONA_API_VERSION=2023-01-05' >> .env

Step 2: Expose Local Webhooks with ngrok

bash
# Terminal 1: Start your webhook server
npm run dev  # localhost:3000

# Terminal 2: Tunnel with ngrok
ngrok http 3000
# Copy the HTTPS URL and configure in Persona Dashboard > Webhooks

Step 3: Create Test Inquiries

python
import os, requests

HEADERS = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['PERSONA_API_KEY']}",
    "Persona-Version": "2023-01-05",
}

# Create inquiry with sandbox template
resp = requests.post("https://withpersona.com/api/v1/inquiries", headers=HEADERS, json={
    "data": {
        "attributes": {
            "inquiry-template-id": "itmpl_YOUR_SANDBOX_TEMPLATE",
            "reference-id": f"test-{int(time.time())}",
        }
    }
})
print(f"Test inquiry: {resp.json()['data']['id']}")

Step 4: Mock API Responses for CI

typescript
import { vi } from 'vitest';

const mockPersonaApi = {
  createInquiry: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
    data: { id: 'inq_test_123', attributes: { status: 'created', 'session-token': 'tok_xxx' } },
  }),
  getInquiry: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
    data: { id: 'inq_test_123', attributes: { status: 'completed' } },
  }),
};

Output

  • Sandbox environment configured for development
  • ngrok tunnel for webhook testing
  • Test inquiry creation workflow
  • Mock API responses for unit tests

Error Handling

Error Cause Solution
Webhook not received ngrok URL not configured Update webhook URL in Dashboard
Sandbox key rejected Using production key Verify key starts with persona_sandbox_
Template not found Wrong environment Templates are per-environment
